Abstract

Tests Jet Propulsion (JP-8) fueled modified commercial generator sets that are rated at one kilowatt to determine if they can meet US Army electrical and environmental requirements. If successful, benefits would include reduced fuel consumption, reduced weight burden on the war-fighter, and added capability via forward use of power sources. The primary benefit is to field first soldier-portable, logistic fueled, one kilowatt power source for tactical operations.
